After a delay in Houston due to mechanical problems, the Rockford team headed for Chicago.  They were about an hour later than we anticipated, but arrived safe and sound to family and friends waiting at First Cov.
We are so excited about Sunday, when the team will give a report during the Life Time Hour at […]

Keith just telephoned from Harlingen, Texas.  They were waiting to get on the flight to Houston.  He said they have a 2 hour lay over in Houston so won’t get into Midway until 7:00 p.m.  I think that means it will be 9:00 or later before they get to First Cov.  He will telephone me […]
